Sure...
In the user agreement you agreed to....
Also in the payment terms you agreed to.

9. Collection of Fees and Other Amounts You Owe
You authorize us to collect from you any amounts you owe us or our Affiliates (in particular the Affiliate which provides the eBay Services to you) under these Payments Terms of Use, the User Agreement, any other service contract, policy, agreement or as required by law (referred to as “Owed Amounts”). Owed Amounts typically include the following:
- Fees;
- Amounts as described in “Returns and Cancellations; Refunds”, “Disputes” or “Fines, Penalties and Losses” in Section 7 above;
- Amounts you owe the eMBG Service Provider under the applicable eMBG Policy;
- Taxes or other charges related to your use of our or our Affiliates’ services, if applicable and required by law; and
- Amounts we incorrectly settled to you due to a payment processing error or otherwise (see Section 1 above).
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9 only provides the authorization for us to collect such amounts which you already owe us or our Affiliates and does not establish any independent claims against you.
Collection of the Owed Amounts may be carried out on a one-time, sporadic, or recurring basis by the following means:
- Retaining such amounts from your current or future disbursements relating to any transactions that you may have;
- Recouping from your Linked Financial Account (and if required, by issuing a direct debit mandate or other similar authorization);
- Recouping from any other payment instrument or payment method you may have authorized or placed on file with us or our Affiliates (for example, to pay for seller fees, shipping labels, or dispute resolution);
- Recouping from your stored value account, if a stored value account has been issued to you;
- Recouping from your payment account, if a payment account has been issued to you (see Part III); and
- Retaining collections agencies or using other collections methods, if the collection by other means has been unsuccessful.
You authorize us to choose the method of collection among those listed above. We generally deduct Owed Amounts from your current or future disbursements we process on your behalf. If a stored value account or payment account has been issued to you, we will deduct the Owed Amounts from funds held in the relevant stored value account or payment account before disbursing the funds to you. If your disbursements awaiting payout or funds held are not sufficient to cover these amounts, we will charge your Linked Financial Account or another payment method on file. If you have several payment instruments on file, you may indicate a specific payment instrument as your preferred payment method for collecting Owed Amounts in your eBay account.
You also authorize the Affiliate whom you have entered into the User Agreement with for the provision of eBay Services to charge you for any Owed Amounts on our behalf from any payment method you may have on file with such Affiliate.
If you provide us with a SEPA/BACS direct debit mandate for debiting Owed Amounts from your bank account, any required advance notice will be given to you at least three days prior to charging your bank account. At any point prior to you explicitly cancelling a SEPA/BACS direct debit mandate we have obtained from you, we may deduct Owed Amounts based on such mandate. Unless you are a consumer in the EU or UK, you waive, to the extent possible under applicable law, any rights you may have to receive advance notice of any particular preauthorized charge.
If our attempt to recoup an Owed Amount from a payment instrument you have authorized us to use fails as a result of your acts or omissions, we may charge you for the failed attempt as set forth on the Fee Page or as applicable in Parts IV and V below.
